When she was young, how she wanted you
Just to play were her and take her to the park
To buy her ice-cream and read her stories after dark
To tuck her inbed, kiss her head and tell her you love her
She wanted you to be that protective father
To think no-body was good enough for your little girl
To wish her every success in the world

You were supposed to give her that talk
On the things a father should say
Advise her on how not to turn out like you
Tell her she's somebody
And to you Daddy, she'll never be a no-body

After a while, you lost her smile
You lost everything about her
She's always tried with you
And one day she wishes that you'll try too
Nothing more to say, than go play happy families,
Go, go away

She knows that, that one day will come
When you look in the mirror and realise what you've done
don't you worry Daddy, don't you worry
'Cause she'll be able to forgive you

Daddy knows she's safe
He left her in a good place
'Cause she's got angels by her side
Special people, living special lives
Yes Daddy knows she's safe
And Daddy knows he couldn't have done a better job
Daddy knows more than he'd like you to think.
